for a stronger future”
Growing energy demand across the globe is expected to drive the global coal fired generation market over the next five years. Coal fired generation process is cheaper than other sources owing to abundant availability and low price of coal. Reliable and inexpensive nature of coal is expected to cater the increasing electricity demand over the forecast period. Oil & gas reserves depletion is anticipated to boost the market in near future. Regional government initiatives to provide power to all at affordable price mainly in emerging and developing countries is projected to bolster the coal fired generation market over the next five years.
Major electricity generation companies especially in Europe faced losses on account of using high price natural gas as a source to generate electricity. However, they have been constantly focusing on usage of coal as a major source of generating electricity to keep their profit high. Many European nations especially Germany has planned to open new coal fired generation sites on account of increasing energy demand over the next five years. Volatile oil & gas prices and uncertain supply are anticipated to foster the market growth over the next five years. Over 40% electricity is being generated using coal across the globe in 2011. Key participants in the global coal fired generation market are involved in developing new combustion technologies to improve conventional PCC (Pulverized Coal Combustion) efficiency. This is expected to boost the global market over the forecast period. Stringent environmental norms regarding greenhouse gases emission during coal fired generation process is anticipated to have a negative impact on the market growth over the next five years.
